Le Magasin des horizons, Contemporary art center in Grenoble, France
Le Magasin des horizons is an art center housed in a large industrial hall with exhibition spaces, meditation areas, and workshops for artistic practice. The layout allows both the presentation and creation of artworks within a single venue.
The building was originally designed by Gustave Eiffel for the 1900 Paris World's Fair and relocated to Grenoble in 1901 for industrial use. It was later transformed into an art center that now hosts contemporary exhibitions.
The venue displays works by international artists across multiple media formats, drawing visitors interested in exploring contemporary artistic approaches. The spaces are used to present installations, videos, and performance art that encourage reflection and dialogue with the public.
Access is available Wednesday through Sunday during daytime hours with regular opening times throughout the day. It helps to check what exhibitions are on before arriving, as the room arrangement changes depending on the current projects.
The venue also hosts a training and research program focused on curatorial practices and societal topics. This educational initiative makes the location more than just an exhibition space, transforming it into a place for learning and artistic development.
